• Abstract: Large language models (LLMs), like ChatGPT, are capable of computing affectionately nuanced text that therefore can shape online interactions, including dating. This study explores how individuals experience closeness and romantic interest in dating profiles, depending on whether they believe the profiles are human- or AI-generated. In a matchmaking scenario, 307 participants rated 10 responses to the Interpersonal Closeness Generating Task, unaware that all were LLM-generated. Surprisingly, perceived source (human or AI) had no significant impact on closeness or romantic interest. Instead, perceived quality and human-likeness of responses shaped reactions. The results challenge current theoretical frameworks for human-machine communication and raise critical questions about the importance of authenticity in affective online communication.

  We focus on predicting engagement in dyadic interactions by scrutinizing verbal and non-verbal cues, aiming to detect signs of disinterest or confusion. In this work, we collect a dataset featuring 34 participants engaged in casual dyadic conversations, each providing self-reported engagement ratings at the end of each conversation. We introduce a novel fusion strategy using Large Language Models (LLMs) to integrate multiple behavior modalities into a multimodal transcript''

  The Turing test examines whether AIs can exhibit human-like behaviour in natural language conversations. Traditional Turing tests adopt a rigid dialogue format where each participant sends only one message each time. This paper proposes the Self-Directed Turing Test, which extends the original test with a burst dialogue format.
